Do you still have the specimens?
Hi Ken, interesting find!
That area along Panoche Road has a very interesting scorpion diversity, including at least one undescribed form that is currently being researched.
The photo with the hands in focus looks like it could be a Serradigitus, but the fingertips can't really be seen well.

The only one known from that area so far is S. gertschi, but from these photo I can' t really tell. There is a slight chance it could be an undescribed sp. from that group.

Do you still have it? I'd like to see it if you do.

 
Nope -
sorry, didn't collect this one. Are they preserved in alcohol like spiders? I added one more photo taken in a slightly different focal plane, but I don't think it will help much. I'll try to get better photos or collect one next time... Thanks for the help!
